SOON APRES (alias for Barbara De Dominicis) besides using her voice, likes to record natural or urban sounds and merge them into her music.
Her projects include Cabaret Noir (with Pasquale Bardaro)_The Body, exposed__Poe-Si__
Kuul-Ma, an audio-visual project in collaboration with the media artist Davide Lonardi.
In 2008 she wrote and produced the songs of her album Anti-Gone based on a narrative theme of greek mythology.
In the same years she met the canadian cello player Julia Kent; together they brought into existence Parallel41 a musical/visual/improvisatory project to be released on french record label Baskaru.
Her growing interest in Sound Portraiture led her to work on A tale of two cities, an audio collagedocumenting Naples and New York that became a radiowork produced for Radio Papesse vs Radia Network: Crossings. Among her soundworks : ReDiSound a radio work produced for Radio Papesse - an homage to Marcel Duchamp (Call for revolutionary Sounds); Whismical Cartography (produced for the multimedia exhibition "E-Art-Quake" commemoring earthquick in Irpinia). At the end of 2010, thanks to the collaboration of a bunch of other sound and visual artists, she gave life to Exqusite What (creator/curator) a collective web/projectbased on the surrealist's Exquisite Cadaver practice.
In 2011 she started to collect materials to set up "La Reverie" (creator/curator) with the intention to build a sort of web-platform where it is possible to circumnavigate strangers' dreams- trying to investigate the impalpable fil rouge that ties diverse dreams apparently distant by nature, geography, culture.
Barbara, cellist Andrea Serrapiglio (Air Chamber, Evangelist) and the polyinstrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily (Marc Ribot' s Ceramic Dogs, Tom Waits)are about to give life to Chasm and Fingers _work in progress (January 2012).
At the moment she is working on a new solo album under the moniker Apres Soon: anassemblage of drones and field recordings, electronics, voices and string instruments

SOUND WORKS
(Audio-sketches are part of an ongoing sound/assemblage documenting Naples and New York. These files are raw material for “A Tale of two Cities”)
Sounds have been gathered in New York and Naples along the imaginary 41° parallel. How a sound alters our perception of temporality and spatiality and accomodate the unexpected?
Recorded with MD Sony, Zoom digital recorder with a stereo microphone and in-ear binaural condenser mics.
